    Hi icesword,

    > But how to write the program ?

    Use nios2-flash-programmer

    > is there any other way to erase my flash!

    If you want to completely erase your flash use the --erase option.

    Try: nios2-flash-programmer --help for a description of the options.

    The documentation for flash programming can provide you with many

    details ... you should read this first. Then, if you have any questions you

    will be able to get more answers on this forum.

    Ooops ... sorry, the document is:

    Nios II Flash Programmer User Guide (ug_nios2_flash_programmer.pdf in the

    altera/kits/nios2/documentation directory).
